n3- We had very pleasant visit last Tues
day from our old friend W. G. Austin, who is
now living in Chester county. We are glad to
see orr friend looking SO hale, hearty aud hap
py. He is running form and says he tried
the Allen upland long staple cotton this year,
but don't think it will do. lie sold two bales
Of it at IL cents, but did not make MS much
from il per acre as he did from the short staple
At cents. With him, he snys, the Allen cot
ton only produced an average of about one
boil 10 limb; the stalk grows somewhat taller,
but does not branch more than the short staple.
The lint is very fine and long; but our season
Of growing is not long enough to make and
mature its fruit

nS- Enquiring of our efficient County
Treasurer what proportion Of the taxes had
been paid, up 10 Thursday, the LIST inst, he
told us that he had given 2,700 receipts, out of
about $500, leaving $500 unpaid. The 10Th
Of this month is the last day allowed by law
for receiving taxes. After that day penalty
Of 20 por cent. will be added to all unpaid
taxes. I
There is now only IA days left in which
1850 tax payers have to pay, and 10 will push
the Treasurer hard to write that many receipts.
He will have 10 write 200 = day; providing he
is kept busy from this time; but if he does NO
better business for a few days, than he is now
doing, IL will be impossible for him to receive
and receipt for much more than one.half the
taxes now unpaid, and those who are left be-
hind will be compelled to pay the penalty.
So. look out.

lfthe Legislature will pass law requiring
the payment ofa license for keeping dogs we
believe public sentament will demand strict en-
fercement. Then we will be rid Of the half
starved roaming ours that spread hydrophobia
and make sheep raising impossible.
We not only endorse what the Charleston
NJ" says in the above, bpt we believe further,
that public sentiment is becoming so strongly
in favor Of law to protect the sheep raising in
tsrest that IL will not be many years-if that
time has not already srriyed-when candidates
Tor the legislature in the upper counties Of the
Slate will be called upon by the farmers to ia.
